on the servo arms. If necessary, shorten the pushrods by
cutting them.

8. For small models such as this it has become common
practice to glue the servos into position. If this is your
preference use medium CA to securely glue the servos to
the rails. However, if you prefer to mount your servos the
conventional way with screws, use the 2 x 6mm Phillips
screws included with this kit – you should be able to simply
tighten them into the wood – no drilling is necessary.

9. Re-connect the servos to your receiver and turn the
system on. Center the elevator and rudder and lock the
pushrods to the screw-lock pushrod connectors by tightening
the set screws with a small drop of threadlocker and the small
hex wrench that came with this model. Secure the servo arms
to the servos with the screws that came with the servos.

mount the ESC and receiver to the top of the mounting plate
as shown.

antenna tube in the fuselage.
